Even though it is the exact same game, I had a
couple minor issues with this Switch port over the Xbox One version. First, when playing in handheld mode, the
“darkness” setting in the option menu needs to be turned all the way to 0% in
order to see anything. However, the
biggest difference comes from playing with dual JoyCons. Unfortunately, I found
the Switch’s shorter and offset analog sticks to be cramped and more difficult
to maneuver for this fast paced twin-stick shooter; a Pro controller helps with
this issue. Also, there is no controller map screen, tutorial, or how-to-play
in the options menu so the player is left to figure everything out with
trial-and-error. Finally, the initial loading of this game takes forever, so
much so that I thought my Switch froze during start up, and the Achievement
system is there but doesn’t unlock anything for earning them.

It is also important to point out that this title
supports up to 4 players in co-op but a Nintendo Online account is required to
play online, just like Xbox Live. The Leaderboard system remains detailed like
the Xbox One version and stands as the main incentive for replay value. While there are ultimately three gameplay
modes to select, Endless and Deathmatch need to be unlocked by reaching level 7
in the Defense mode. This isn’t too
difficult and will probably take a few attempts but just know that all the
content isn’t available right from the start.

Yet
Another Zombie Defense HD is an inexpensive, simple, low
presentation values but entertaining digital download. While I prefer the Xbox
One version over this Switch port, it is still is a decent time waster
especially when played in multiplayer mode.
